I'm Beth, a sometimes frazzled third grade teacher. In this blog, you will find tried and true projects that will hopefully lower your stress meter. I will also acknowledge things that don't go so well in the hopes that you will not make the same mistakes. Happy teaching!

Five for Friday with Lots of Freebies!

Cubs Win! - I was so excited to watch the Cubs win the World Series! I am still exhausted and can't wait to catch up on my sleep this weekend! All my Chicago teams have won during my lifetime!

Personal Day - I took my first day off this year - a personal day. I felt bad leaving a sub with them the day after Halloween but I had to finish moving. I warned them ahead of time. We discussed behavior and I put up a poster for them to add post-it notes showing great behavior. Check me out on Instagramto see the pic.

Halloween Author's Purpose - On Halloween, I gave each student a bag of pretzels and an author's purpose card. They had to write a story about their pretzels using their card. I loved how creative the stories were! Super fun!

Parent/Teacher Conferences - Today I had my Parent/Teacher Conferences. They went really well. I had 13/21 show up. This may not seem like a lot, but I was really worried when only 4 showed up the first 4 hours. If you have conferences coming up, check out my free conference packet by clicking the pic below.
